A skeletal muscle's partially contracted state that is normal even when the muscle is not in use is called?
The state of partial skeletal muscle contraction is known as tonus. Muscles of the body do not have a real state of total relaxation.
Why do muscles have to be partially contracted at all times?
The state when even relaxed muscles are almost always in a slightly contracted state is called muscle tone. It does not produce active movement, but it keeps the muscles firm and healthy and ensures that they are ready to respond to a sudden stimulus. Muscle tone also helps to stabilize joints and to maintain posture.
What is the difference between tonus and tetanus?
1. Even when a muscle appears to be at rest, a certain amount of sustained contraction is occurring in its fibers. This is called muscle tone. (Muscle tone is a response to nerve impulses that originate repeatedly from the spinal cord and stimulate a few muscle fibers.) A tetanic contraction is when a forceful sustained contraction lacks even partial relaxation.
